Neutrosophic Z-Number for Measuring Teaching Effectiveness in Ideological and Political Education: A University-Level Study based on Student Perception

Abstract

The effectiveness of ideological and political education in universities plays a crucial 
role in shaping students' values, critical thinking skills, and civic awareness. As student 
perceptions become increasingly important in evaluating teaching methodologies, understanding 
how various pedagogical strategies impact learning outcomes is essential. This study aims to 
develop a comprehensive framework for measuring teaching effectiveness in ideological and 
political education by incorporating student feedback and perception-based assessment models. 
By integrating qualitative and quantitative evaluation methods, this research examines key 
teaching factors, such as engagement, curriculum relevance, instructor responsiveness, and 
technology usage. Neutrosophic Z-Number (NZN) is used in this study to deal with uncertainty 
in the evaluation process. We use two methods, BWM to compute the criteria weights and the 
RAM method to rank the alternatives. We show the case study with eight criteria and eleven 
alternatives.
